#OnThisDay 50 years ago James Hunt (McLaren M23) won the non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions at Brands Hatch. Here he is being led by Alan Jones (Surtees TS19), who eventually finished 2nd. Left-field thought & pic caption: Durex first, Marlboro 2nd, as so often. 😉

#OnThisDay in ’65 Mike Spence (Lotus) won the non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions at Brands Hatch. What a mega start-line front-row pic this is, showing a puzzled Graham Hill (BRM) between the Lotuses of Spence (car #6) & pole man Jim Clark. Spence had a cool helmet, didn’t he?

#HappyBirthday Danny Sullivan, 76. He started 15 #F1 GPs for Tyrrell in ’83 - but he was an #IndyCar ace & he’s best known for his brilliant ’85 #Indy500 ‘spin & win’. Pic: 2nd for Tyrrell in the ’83 #RaceOfChampions at Brands Hatch, the last non-championship F1 race.

Lovely pic of Jochen Rindt reading #MotoringNews (now #MotorsportNews) in the Brands Hatch paddock #OnThisDay 57 years ago - ie, on the morning of the ’69 non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions. He’d DNF his Lotus 49B later that afternoon. Jackie Stewart would win in a Matra MS80.

#AnorakFact: only one Welshman has won an #F1 race. Tom Pryce won the non-championship F1 #RaceOfChampions, run #OnThisDay in ’75. He was also the only Welshman to lead a championship F1 GP (’75 #BritishGP; 2 laps). He was fast & might have made a big mark but for Kyalami ’77.

#HappyBirthday Tony Trimmer, 82. Quick, he won the then-prestigious Monaco #F3 race in ’70, the #ShellsportInternational series in ’77 & the #AuroraAFX #F1 series in ’78, but he never got a good go at F1. Pic: Surtees TS19, non-championship F1 #RaceOfChampions, Brands Hatch, ’77.

#OnThisDay in ’68, at Brands Hatch, everything went right for Bruce McLaren. He started that year’s non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions from the pole, he drove fastest lap, & he won the race. Oh & IMHO his McLaren M7A was & is a real beauty.

You may know that Peter Gethin won the non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions in an #F5000 Chevron. #AnorakFact: it was the only race other than the ’69 non-championship F1 #MadridGP, won by Keith Holland (who turns 90 today) in a Lola (pic), in which an F5000 car beat F1 cars.

Lovely pic of Dan Gurney & his beautiful Eagle T1G after victory in the non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions at Brands Hatch #OnThisDay in ’67. #AnorakFact: it was run over two 10-lap heats & one 40-lap final; Gurney & his Eagle won all 3 races.👏

Peter Revson was born #OnThisDay in ’39. Here he is at Brands Hatch, in the ’74 non-championship #F1 #RaceOfChampions, his last F1 race, manhandling a Shadow DN3 on a soaking-wet track to a gutsy 6th-place finish. 5 days later he was killed, testing the same DN3 at Kyalami. (1/2)
